Nanami Oda (織田 七海 Oda Nanami)
Voiced by: Fuyuka Toiro (First Game), Yumi Haruna (Second Game), Nana Yasaka (Third Game), Konoko Takanashi (Fourth Game)
A first-year high school student at St. Michael's, she's lighthearted and energetic with an outgoing disposition. Currently romantically involved with Yūna, an upperclassman. A fair young lady with a fair bit of knowledge in matters of love (though not from personal experience) who's quite prone to daydreaming. Her head is always full of romantic thoughts for Yūna! Surprisingly stubborn, and is usually involved in trifling arguments, even with her partner Yūna. She has such a lovestruck disposition that her discovery that Yūna is actually nothing like how she imagined only caused her to fall that much harder for her. She is known to be a troubled young girl with an underdeveloped chest and a squishy belly, who's madly in love with her Oneesama.
Yūna Matsubara (松原 優菜 Matsubara Yūna)
Voiced by: Pochi Uchino
- A second year high school student at St. Michael's and chairman of the Environmental Protection Committee (a group that's functionally the student council), and the proud daughter of parents who are directors of large hospitals all over Japan. A somewhat soft-spoken intellectual beauty with a gentle disposition to boot. A busty girl who excels in sports, and all around superwoman. A campus idol, naturally adored by her juniors (and even by her seniors), while seemingly totally oblivious to that fact. She's actually a rather spoiled, dirty-minded girl. Also the type of person who isn't satisfied unless she puts all her heart and soul into something. She's the Chairman of the Environmental Preservation Committee which functions essentially as the student council, and the proud daughter of parents who are joint directors of a major hospital. Although fairly easygoing, she's both beautiful and intelligent, and has a gentle disposition to boot. With athletic prowess and enormous breasts, she's an all-around perfect superwoman.
Reo Kawamura (川村 玲緒 Kawamura Reo)
Voiced by: Hana Anzu
- A second-year student and classmate of Mai Sawaguchi. Coming from a long line of affluence on her mother's side, she's what you might call a sheltered girl. Reo herself is socially inept and has a fear of strangers, Reo is known to have a very short stature with a fairly childlike body, her long fluffy silver hair and refined facial features form an adorable combination that makes her incredibly popular. However, unfriendly to everyone except Mai, she's a hyper-tsundere who's like a wild beast in some ways. Both her parents are living overseas, so she lives alone in a big apartment.
